About grinding coffee
The correct grinding coarseness will give the most flavourful cup of
coffee.The correct coarseness of the grind depends on the method
in which the coffee is to be prepared.
Generally, the finer the grind the more quickly the coffee should be
prepared, which is why coffee ground for use in an espresso
machine is much finer than coffee brewed in a drip or filter system.
Coffee that is ground too fine for a particular brewing process - (e.g
fine espresso grind used in a drip filter coffee machine) will result in
over-extraction and bitter, pungent tasting coffee.
Conversely, coffee that is too coarse for a particular preparation
method will result in under-extraction and weak, watery coffee. If
the correct grind is used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew
stronger without making it bitter.
In addition to providing a number of grind settings, coffee grinders
provide a consistent grind. This is important to ensure the extraction
is consistent across all of the ground coffee particles.
Before first use
Before using the coffee grinder, wipe the housing and bean
hopper with a clean damp cloth. Wash the coffee bean hopper lid,
ground coffee container and ground coffee container lid in hot soapy
water, then rise and dry thoroughly.
The ground coffee holder, its lid and the bean hopper lid can be
washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
Please note
: The burr can not be washed and must be kept
dry at all times. Clean the burr with a stiff bristled brush.
